Abstract
A method for event-driven observability enhanced coverage analysis of a program parses a program into variables and data dependencies, wherein the data dependencies comprise assignments and operations. The method builds a data structure having multiple records, with each record having at least one data dependency, a parent node, and a child node. Each node is linked to a variable. The method computes the value of each variable using the data structure. The method performs tag propagation based, at least in part, on the data dependencies and computed values.
